Ascents in New South Wales and ACT as various tick types as trad by Damien Ayers

Brilliant climbing in a spectacular location. The orange upper section of the wall is superb. Rather pumpy also.

Rescuing some gear that was left behind after the incident with the tree.

oooof. Such a good climb, that just keeps going and going and going. I could really feel my lack of endurance, and got a little desperate in a couple of spots, but managed to hang in there and keep going.

Such good placements (5 cams and 10 wires), such good rock, such good movements.

Was made rather more epic by bringing the kids in. And there was still some small patches of snow on the track up to the top. Glorious sunny weather.

So much fun, until it gets thin up top and I forgot how to use my feet, or small holds, or just climb in general.

Great! Bit of down climbing and working out gear.

Slightly thin long reaches, but a very cool position.

Felt hard, must be tired from yesterday.

Pitch 1 only. Soloed up to the tree, then led the lovely crack and short slab above. Brilliant weather, sunny and windy and cool, and super fun placing some good gear.

Amazing climbing, deserves more stars. Airy and exposed, improved with some wind.

Great climb! Struggled with the granite+trad+crack combination at the start of the second pitch. It's been too long! Nice exposure and arete climbing.

Perfect winter weather for some perfect granite climbing. Definitely contains some do-not-fall territory.

Good re-introduction to jamming. Didn't feel easy. Took a small amount of blood.

Awkward steep crack at the start, dubious to non-existent protection at the top. Glad Lazar was on the pointy end.

Fun jaunt. Interesting step across move.

Gob smacking line. Was a bit anxious beforehand, but I felt a lot more solid than last time, many moons ago.

For some reason I expected this to be a doddle. It was both better and far more sustained than I expected.

Got mixed up between the Fish-knife and the Butter-knife, so we ended up here and climbed this. It was great! Excellent rock, good moves, adequate gear.

Brilliant feature, brilliant climb. Shared the leading with Shawn. Windy with intermittent clouds made it a bit chilly. Quite a few old rusty pins along the way. Got rained on at the last abseil, luckily camp was nearby.

Dirty dirty dirty.

Up the face. Not at all bad, but not memorable either.

Brilliant climbing. Little bit steep.

Awesome

Trivial on second if you can foot jam.

Short steep fun in the middle

Not great, easily past some U bolts, then up the head wall past some more. Much easier and not as good as AHC.

Brilliant. Rock was a bit loose down low, but varied and awesome climbing.

Really good workout. Had me panting.

Solo down-climb.

Awesome. Plenty of great holds to rest on. Found a thread to lessen the excitement at the top.

Worth doing, but the rock is sandy and not that reassuring.

Great! Tricky for 21.

Yikes! Hard crack. Lost some skin.

Great way to end the weekend.

Really cool and varied. Didn't go right from the bottom, didn't seem worthwhile.

A couple of reachy moves, but felt pretty easy.

Still brilliant. But much easier than I remembered. Had to use wires on a few carrots...

Great re-introduction to the point.

As a sport climb.

Really good. Quite tricky. Better know how to jam.

Awesome! Started up Wailing Cockatoo, then OS P3 and P4. P4 was one hard move, but easy in general. P3 was harder and more sustained.

Had some trouble finding my trad head and calves, but super cool climbing.

Great climbing, all bolted. Stung by wasps about 10 times on the second pitch!!

Really cool features and climbing. Did the second half in pouring rain, which didn't actually hit me or the climb.
